City of Flowers - FUNDRAISER FOR GAZA
21/05/2024We continue to witness the ongoing genocide in Gaza with a profound sense of powerlessness. The prospect of a permanent ceasefire and an end to the 17 year blokkade remains distant, while the humanitarian assistance reaching the region is minimal compared to the enormity of the need. This underscores the urgency of persistently highlighting the situation,mobilizing resources to support aid, and showing solidarity with the population of Gaza, and the Palestinian people more broadly.
On Thursday May 30th, we are organizing a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the victims of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
◍ music by han, noise diva (live), siga & youngwoman
◍ poetry + soundscapes by tania shoukair & nessim
◍ screening of selected short films
Before and after the music + film programme, we organize a market with various sellers, including Middle East Archive, and a range of local and Palestinian artists.
Through this event, we are amplifying Palestinian culture and life in a time of unfathomable grief and suffering, and so we urge you to be conscious, reflective, and respectful when entering our space.
Tickets cost a minimum of €15, but we ask anyone that can contribute more to donate on a pay-as-you-can principle, you can purchase them now here.
The majority of funds will go to Palestine Red Crescent and Palestine Relief Children’s Fund, who are currently providing emergency aid as well as longer term support in Gaza. A fraction of funds will also be used to support Direct Action groups in the Netherlands. In addition, each ticket sold will also contribute towards e-sims to keep Gazans connected.
This evening is organized with the support of Echobox Radio and Radio Alhara. Can’t make it to the event? The audio of the shows will be livestreamed on their platforms. You can also donate an amount via the fundraising link in our bio.
